Elite/Trivia


  • Genre Popularizer: It paved the way for all 3D space simulators, and particularly space trading and open sandbox games.
  • Port Overdosed: Despite having only one console port (for the NES, in Europe only), and having received no modern re-releases, the original Elite still qualifies for Port Overdosed status thanks to its complete smothering of the 80s home computer market.
  • Urban Legend of Zelda: One of the all-time classics is the Mirage ship in Frontier: Elite II. They wound up chucking it into a secrets guide (complete with made-up specifications) and added a Mirage II into Frontier: First Encounters.
  • Vaporware: Elite IV has been a classic poster child of this trope for years.
